Festival tents

[dennydrewcook]

Not posted in ages and I was Just wondering if anyone knew (or had&#128521 any cheap festival tents, easy to put up sorta cheaply thing, I'll be using it at a festival so I'm expecting it to get ruined so don't wanna spend much more than £15? Any ideas on where to get a half decent cheap one?

Pop up tents can be very cheap. Folding them back into their sold size can be fun and good exercise. See fleabay

If you do the traditional torching don't forget to save the poles for crossbow bolts/arrows.

Wilko's do a two man jobby for under £15 as a rule (providing they consider 'camping season' to have begun) but I have no idea how good they are, I suspect you will only get what you pay for. B & M also do them but again it depends when they decide gardening and outdoor season has started.

A friend of mine got one of these as his festival tent. Stood up to two Boomtown festivals so daresay it's good enough.

Go to your local car boot.

Or ask on freecycle.

I would offer you one of mine but I have no cheapo ones I wish to get rid of, (bar a black and white pop up) and anyhow I am in Cornwall.

If you can get to Swindon at Easter and you want the pop up you can have it

The outer is good but the inner looks like this, very slopey at the end

Just get a cheap 2 man tent on ebay. And never, ever, leave it open. Make sure you have a good check in it when you get back, just in case someone didn't want to wait for the portaloos. Happened often at t in the park.
